Posted on November 22, 2024 - News

BlackForestLabs has exciting news to share. The company is expanding its FLUX.1 AI image platform with a powerful new suite of tools that takes everything to the next level.

What's New in BlackForestLabs' FLUX.1 Family?

Building on the success of their FLUX.1 text-to-image model, BlackForestLabs has developed four new tools that give users even more creative control:

  1. FLUX.1 Fill - An advanced addition to the FLUX.1 platform for smart image editing
  2. FLUX.1 Depth - Their new 3D-aware image understanding system
  3. FLUX.1 Canny - BlackForestLabs' edge-preservation technology
  4. FLUX.1 Redux - A fresh way to remix and enhance FLUX.1 generations

Following BlackForestLabs' commitment to the community, they're releasing each tool in two flavors: open-access [dev] versions and professional [pro] versions through their BFL API.

FLUX.1 Fill: Taking BlackForestLabs' Image Tech Further

BlackForestLabs built FLUX.1 Fill to complement their base FLUX.1 model perfectly.

Here's what makes their latest tool special:

  • Outperforms other solutions like Ideogram 2.0 (check out their benchmarks!)
  • Seamlessly integrates with existing FLUX.1 generations
  • Adds powerful outpainting capabilities to their FLUX.1 ecosystem

The benchmarks are in: BlackForestLabs' FLUX.1 Fill [pro] is leading the pack, with their [dev] version coming in strong second! flux-tools-inpaint.jpeg flux-tools-outputpaint.jpeg

Structural Control with FLUX.1 Depth and Canny

These tools represent the next evolution of the FLUX.1 platform.

BlackForestLabs has developed two approaches to maintain precise control:

  • FLUX.1 Depth adds 3D awareness to FLUX.1 generations
  • FLUX.1 Canny preserves structural integrity during edits

Their team benchmarked these against competitors (including Midjourney ReTexture), and both tools showcase BlackForestLabs' leadership in AI image technology.
